U posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća koncept održivosti etablirao se kao dio društvenih znanosti. Unatoč činjenici da je proizašao iz ekološke paradigme, ekološka je dimenzija samo jedan od četiriju stupova održivosti te tek zajedno s ekonomskim, socijalnim i kulturnim stupom čini temelj onog što danas nazivamo održivim razvojem. Na sličan način možemo sagledavati i pojam otpornosti koji, pozicioniran u širi kontekst socio-ekološkog sustava često predstavlja odgovor na ekološke, elementarne ili biološke katastrofe. Primarna svrha analize i evaluacije koncepata otpornosti i održivosti u ovome radu jest pokušaj postavljanja integrativnog teorijskog okvira za istraživanje urbanih i ruralnih prostora i lokalnih zajednica iz sociološke perspektive. Kroz definiranje i analizu ovih koncepata, razgraničavanje njihovih razlika i promišljanje urbane otpornosti, otvara se mogućnost detaljnijeg i konkretnijeg daljnjeg istraživanja otpornosti. Razumijevanje prostorne, socijalne i kulturne otpornosti u uskoj je vezi s konceptom zajednice kao aktera u tom dinamičnom procesu. Pogotovo je u kontekstu socijalne otpornosti kao alata za unaprjeđenje (ruralnog i urbanog) prostora koncept zajednice od presudne važnosti za razumijevanje suvremenih socio-prostornih odnosa. Pritom su prostornost i lokalnost zajednice vrlo bitni aspekti promišljanja kojima se konstruiraju i preispituju neke nove dimenzije zajednica. Lokaliziranje otpornosti i održivosti događa se upravo kroz zajednicu bilo da je riječ o prostornoj ili kulturnoj lokalizaciji.

Urban landscape is a complex phenomenon that is perpetually transforming and being reshaped in accordance with changes in lifestyles. The production of the built environment often reflects the lifestyles and everyday lives of the people that fill the space. In this paper, we analyse selected aspects of the transformation of a planned seaside resort that served as a summer destination with second homes during the second half of the 20th century. In the last two decades, there has been a visible transition towards a more permanent settlement, which has become part of the urban network and currently functions as a struggling residential suburb during the winter, while retaining its primary function as a resort during the summer. Červar Porat was the first planned resort town in Croatia and an elite seasonal settlement with a distinct micro-urban space developed using complex modernist urban planning. This paper focuses on the transformation of the settlement and presents the results of a bottom-up research project conducted to examine the cultural dynamic and aspirations of both permanent and temporary residents of Červar Porat. It aims to evaluate the level of success in regard to the transformation of the resort town from a temporary to a permanent settlement, and to explore the possibility of using regeneration based on cultural infrastructure as a key tool for achieving a vibrant micro-urban space in Červar Porat.

In the contemporary urban context it can be argued that the concept and practices of urban gardens represent one of the key tools for achieving the universal urban goal-sustainability and smartness. Functions of contemporary urban gardens are part of a new urban paradigm: caring for the environment, rediscovering social interaction and reconnecting with nature. At the same time we are witnessing the emergence of temporary urbanism within urban space involving the provisional usage of unused spaces for a wide range of activities. It allows for the transformation of traditional categories (e.g. gardens, parks) into a hyper contemporary category of urban space that contains desirable characteristics such as availability, mobility, re-use and temporality, i.e. urban gardens that sprout or 'pop up' as part of civil society initiatives or festival events. Temporary urbanism and pop-up gardens are considered through allotment gardens in Croatia. They present the revival of urban agriculture and are explored in relation to their polyfunctional character that addresses economic, ecological and social questions.
